This is Friendship

Ok, so I got a call from my dear friend Margaret. I do canning with her, she helps me organize my home, I help garden at her place. We help each other out... Today she calls and says, why don't you come over for a couple hours, I have some brush I want to clear. I say ok. So I quick find a sitter for the Puppy. Then I pack up the kids, a picnic, and all workbook stuff to be done today, and we were off.

The kids are all set. Puppy at the sitter, and Mouse and Monkey are having a picnic up near the house at Margaret’s.

So we start clearing this brush. Then about half way through the brush clearing, she tells me we are going to cut down a tree. We are talking a ginormous tree here! In total shock, and just seeing how cool that would be to blog about, I say ALRIGHT!!! Feeling like a superwoman for real now!

Well we went to sawing on that tree with the chainsaw, and it starts to go down. We are waiting for the big BOOM! But guess what? No dice. The top branches hung on 3 other trees. We were bummed. It didn't go down. So tonight a storm is coming. We are sure hoping for a good wind. If not, that is going to be a doozy of a job.

Sorry no pics. Just think really big white oak just laying on a few trees, but not falling, and still stuck on the stump!

Notes to self:
Next time wear long sleeves.
Stay out of firing range of the DR. Huge bruise on leg from wood chip. OUCH!
Start working out on a more regular basis! That is some hard work girl!

After that, Margaret tells me, "So, you gonna do 30 minutes on the treadmill?" I think she is out of her ever loving mind!!! But guess what? I did it! YaY me!
